Bottle o Tamoxifen

June, waiting is torture huh? How about calling OB/GYN's office first thing in am and ask if there are any cancellations for the day. Perhaps she/he would call you tomorrow and discuss the results on the phone.  Good you keep your sense of humor regarding sex. Hope you are feeling better. 

Hey my Tammi ladies. Been away awhile, getting ready for exchange/port removal/ovary removal on Oct 3rd.

Have read your posts and have a few things to chime in.

First, poor June WTH. Don't believe them when they say that small cysts can't cause pain, I am an OR nurse and have brought women back to have exploratory laparoscopy because of abdominal pain and we have found small cysts we removed with the surgeon saying that this probably wasn't the cause of her pain, just to return later and say patient feels much better now. Could you possibly have endometriosis, that's another big cause of abdominal pain, Unfortuantly the only way to see it is to do a laparoscopy. Have they thought of doing an abdominal CT scan? God, girl hope your feeling much better really soon.

Not sure who posted about Teva Tammy. I to get my Tammy from Teva I also ran the pharmacy at my old place of employment. FDS regulated that a medication have the exact same properties no matter the manufacturer, it shouldn't make any difference in SE if the drug came from Teva or not, hope that helps.

Sex, this is were I am soooooooo lucky with Tammy. My sex drive has actually increased throughout this BC jouney and Tammy has done nouthing to my labideo. Could also have to do with the fact that my BF is super sexy.

I hear ya about sinus trouble and allergies-time of year.

Glad to hear from all of you. Want in on any drinking tonight. It's the weekend and super sexy BF is in Texas for a meeting this weekend-but watch out Sun night, Lol.

Heck yeah. My BF is like "didn't you say this my decrease your drive or something". I think I may be wearing him out. Tell him all the time that he's getting old when he can't keep up with a post-chemo girl, LOL.

Jo I think yours and mine are hiding out on some dessert island... Best kept secret!!! lol

The increased sex drive is about the only good thing that has happened out of this bc crap we have to deal with.  DH is like couldn't this have been this way 10 years ago.  lol oh well there are nights I think he wants to run from me. Never thought that would happen. hehe

June, hope you get some relief from the pain really soon!!  i used to get cysts occasionally, but not quite as bad as what you are describing, ouch!    

I also have recurrent issues with kidney stones, more and more in the past 6 years.. and have passed more than my fair share of stones, thankfully none large enough to get stuck, but still, it smarts!!!   I'm not convinced the pain that lasts for a month or more is necessarily all stone related.   However,  ever since she saw the kidney stones on the ultrasound , my family doc has dismissed all my complaints of pain on that side, as oh, well, you have kidney stones, of course you'll have pain.  She refuses to give me a referral to a urologist,  saying  that as it's just 1 cm big, ( at last check), they would not do anything.  If i'm in more pain than i can handle, go to emerg. gee thanks.    I don't bother bringing it up with her anymore.

 Anyway, I was wondering, did you see a urologist, or have you just been dealing with your family doctor?  When your having stone issues, does it last for a few days or weeks?  I wonder sometimes if it's back pain or kidney pain, or something else.    

I would really like a second opinion  to make sure that is all that's going on and perhaps some advice on how to prevent further stones.. i already drink a ton of water.   Been in varying degrees of pain for the past 3 - 4 weeks,  and i'm thinking about asking my MO if she might give me a referral, not sure if she will, but i can ask,  right?   I'm wondering if part of this pain in lower right quadrent (around ovaries i guess) is cysts or something tammi related ,  it seemed to be there before the latest bout of stone pain.,, sometimes not so much, sometimes more

. I see my MO on Tues and i'm trying to figure out how to best present my case.  

 sorry, this is not necessairly tammi related, but  really would like to know what your kidney stone pain is like, maybe if it's similar to mine. that will help convince me that's all it is.. (  when i feel it rip down the side quickly, it's obvious,  other times, not so sure..  

JUne and Chili--Panmars from the other tamox thread had an ooph recently because tammi was causing her ovaries to be overproductive cause lots of cyst.  You might want to find that thread or search for her.

tinkertude, she is a crazy person!  I'd stay far away from her and my guess is that anyone who listens to her realizes she's crazy. 

june - any chance it could be interstitial cystitis?  I think that feels like a UTI, but isn't. 

jealous of all you increased sex drive girls.  not feeling overly sexy these days.  Bald and numb boobs will do that to you!  You go girls!

Tink - Seriously?  That woman is absolutely crazy.  She is one of those that just does not get it and never will until it is unfortunately her turn.  I would not wish this disease on anyone but.......

You need to go to the bonfire with me so I can help you throw her in.  I noticed the flames are getting kinda low and could use some fuel.

My advice - stay away from her as much as you can. 

Tink my advice is stay away from her she is nuts.  I think she needs to go into Jo's bonfire.

bcisnofun-as far as the sex drive. DH and I are getting ready to celebrate 24 years of marriage and he is still the sexy guy I married 24 years ago.  He has been my rock and think that has made him even more attractive than before. Guess I am still crazy inlove.

Tink:  Holy smokes!!  BC is not something that anyone would want to fake.  Goodness gracious..this woman is obviously off her rocker.  Try to stay away from her.  Some people...grrrrrrrrrr!!!!

OMG Tink let me at her, I mean really let me get out my frustrations at the lack of,,,.....As Jo said and she said it so well.  i hope she never has to go through what we go through on a daily basis.  What a freakin jealous whacked out BITCH!!!!

Okay, so again I am doing my own evaluations as no one else can seem to help or think it is serious enough to fit me in sooner than later.  I have an appt with a Nrse on Friday at my urologist office (the only one I could get and believe me I called everywhere)  I also have a OBGYN appt on Monday at 10:30.  Remember how in the beginning I thought it was yeast and treated myself and even got a pill.  Well yesterday I started another over the counter course as I was literally grabbing the toilet in pain when I urinated.  So I did a self eval and took a mirror and looked down there and inside the walls looked to me like cottage cheese.....If I am in this much pain due to a freakin  yeast and yeast only and not one person can take a look at me I am gonna scream.  So I sent hubby to the store and I did Monistat yesterday and another one last night and the edge is off.....Is all this pain a Yeast that will not go away with anything????

Sandee you are one strong strong girl to do what you did, I bet you feel GREAT and a little scared as well.  I think you should go ahead and buy that small house and please know we will all be there with you to help you celebrate and move in!!!

Sandee good for you, you are so right that we do not need that kind of stress.  Good luck on the house decision and the AL decision

June - So glad you passed that stone and are pain free.  Now you can enjoy your anniversary and give hubby some "afternoon delight."  LOL!
